Frankie Carle (born Francis Nunzio Carlone, March 25, 1903 – March 7, 2001) was an American pianist and bandleader. As a very popular bandleader in the 1940s and 1950s, Carle was nicknamed "The Wizard of the Keyboard".

Carle was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on March 25, 1903. Born the son of a factory worker who could not afford a piano, he practiced on a dummy keyboard devised by his uncle, pianist Nicholas Colangelo, until he found a broken-down instrument in a dance hall. In 1916, a teenage Carle began working with his uncle's band as well as a number of local bands in the Rhode Island area. To gain further popularity in an America which still held prejudices against many Italian Americans, Carle did what many singers, such as Dean Martin and Jerry Vale, did during this time period; he changed his name from Carlone to Carle.The most expensive item with a signature of Frankie Carle (Frankie Carle Signed Hand Written Letter 1/5/99 Personal Stationery Rare) was sold in October 2020 for $134.99 while the cheapest item (BANDLEADER~PIANIST FRANKIE CARLE (1903-2001) AUTOGRAPH ALS NOTE~) found a new owner for $0.99 in April 2022.
